YOU ARE AN RA SISTER!




My sister Meredith and I recently attended an ambassador reunion in Florida for Vectra DA. While in attendance, I had an epiphany. I have always just considered my sister and I the RA SISTERS, but it is so much more than just the two of us. We created this blog because we never wanted anyone to feel alone on this journey or suffering. My sister and I felt fortunate in a way, because we had each other. Not everyone has a partner in crime when it comes to their disease. 馃槒 I now realize the term “RA SISTERS” is for ALL women suffering with this disease! We are all RA SISTERS, and we are in this fight together.

At the ambassador reunion, I had the privilege of hearing Kelly O’Neill Young present. She is the author of RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS UNMASKED, 10 DANGERS of Rheumatoid Disease, and widely known as the RA WARRIOR. Here is the link to her amazing web page. http://rawarrior.com/

After hearing her speak, I instantly felt connected to her. Everything she said made me feel empowered and validated. So many times, we as women and as patients feel less than important when it comes to our disease. Doctors can sometimes make us feel like we are imagining our symptoms and we end up pushing many of them to the back burner leaving symptoms untreated.  She had gone through some of the same struggles I am going through!  She and I are RA SISTERS! 

In her book, she emphasizes the importance in renaming Rheumatoid Arthritis to Rheumatoid Disease. She discusses the reasons why and uses medical literature to back it up. I highly recommend reading it and buying a copy for your doctor. It will improve your patient/doctor relationship.

In closing, remember that you are not fighting this alone. We are here for you. 
We are all the RA SISTERS. 馃挭
Rheumatoid Disease is not something any of us want, but it is what it is, so welcome to the club!
